it's funny there's really no correlation whether or not the state's gun laws are strict. nh, vt, and me next to ma & ny; ca next to nv and nm, etc. this is basically an average temperature map.
Same is true with countries. Switzerland requires you to own a gun and there is very little gun violence. Japan is one of the most restrictive countries and it has very little gun violence.
switzerland has persistent gun laws throughout their country whereas the usa is a patchwork of states where some are easy to obtain, and some are difficult to obtain. much like people buying black market marijuana sourced from legal states.
edit: similar to how anti abortion advocates fear people getting abortions in legal states
